Traveljoy's Itinerary App

Itineraries by TravelJoy is a free mobile app for iPhone and Android that lets you view your trip itineraries, documents, and images on the go, even offline.

Airalo eSIM

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital version of the SIM card already built into most modern smartphones. Instead of physically swapping SIM cards when you arrive in a new country, you can download a mobile data plan straight to your phone. I personally use and recommend Airalo for my clients because it’s affordable, reliable, and user-friendly.

Mobile Passport Control

Skip the regular passport control line at many U.S. airports. Faster than Global Entry at times—and it’s free! Must be a US citizen.

Citymapper

Great for public transportation in major cities across Europe and beyond. Offers real-time departures, route planning, and cost estimates.

Google Maps

Still the gold standard. Save locations, download offline maps, and get walking, driving, or public transit directions anywhere in the world.

Google Translate

Translate text, signs, menus, or conversations instantly—even offline. Great for navigating language barriers with ease.

FreeNow Rideshare

Popular in Europe; allows you to book licensed taxis or private cars in over 100 cities. You can pay through the app and often schedule in advance.

Cabify Rideshare

Common in Spain, Portugal, and Latin America. Offers professional drivers and a great alternative to taxis.

Bolt Rideshare

Available in Europe and parts of Africa. Tends to be less expensive than Uber and often includes scooters and bikes.
